What are the MedRiSSE policy briefs

The partnership of the MedRiSSE has developed five national policy briefs, focused on social innovation to promote a positive influence on policy makers. These policy briefs are designed to strengthen policy and regulatory frameworks at the national level and enhance the capabilities within the national ecosystems to implement coordinated social innovation policies and actions.

They serve as valuable resources for policymakers and other stakeholders in Italy, Jordan, Palestine, Spain, and Tunisia. These policy briefs are likely to outline specific strategies, good practices, and actionable policy recommendations to advance social innovation and its positive impact on various aspects of society. The intention is to strengthen the national capacity for implementing social innovation policies and actions effectively.

With Oxfam Italia support, each partner of the MedRiSSE project identified the thematic, co-designed the contents and approved its national policy brief.
